    APRIL 17, 1975
SUE BRETHERICK
Because of the fumbling
manner in which the original
elections were held, it has
become necessary for those
who supported me before to
once again assert your good
taste at the polls. My
platform is simply this:
better government for every
student at Capitol. There are
a number of major areas that
need immediate attention.
They are: revision of the
Constitution, improved com
mittee structures (in partic
ular, the Elections/Screen
ing Committee), institution
of a new student activities
funding structure.
The first matter demand
ing my attention is the
revision of the Student
Government Constitution.
The major faults with the
present one are its contra
dictions and inconsis
tencies. For example, in
Section 3 of Article VIII, any
full-time student of Capitol
Campus is eligible to vote.
To all concerned students,
On Monday, April 21,
1975, there will be a special
election held to elect a new
president of the Student
Government Association.
The results of the president
ial election held on April 3,
1975 were not accepted by
the SGA. Therefore I am
once again announcing my
candidacy for the office of
the president.
The results of the V-P,
Treasurer, etc. have been
accepted by the SGA. This
means that the people who
were running with me as
members of the Apocalypse
Party are now in office
waiting' for the rest of the
party to be elected.
My platform is as follows:
1) The graduate students of
this campus compose a
large number of students on
this campus. Therefore,
they should play a role in the
government of this campus.
It is my plan, if elected, to
amend the constitution in
order to allow graduate
students to hold a senate
seat and become a part of
the government of this
campus.
2) There is a group on
campus now called the
President's Council. This
group is made up of all the
presidents of the chartered
clubs on campus. It would
be my suggestion to the
Judge Terse About Curse— And in Verse
HACKENSACK, N.J. - A
judge used verse to overturn
the conviction of a young
man charged with using
obscene language in a
telephone call to a woman
municipal clerk who refused
to postpone a court hearing
on a traffic violation.
Bergen County Court
Judge Harvey Smith, in
dismissing the conviction of
Eugene T. Bohelska, 20, said
in part: "Can you sweat if
you hit your thumb with a
hammer
"Without risk of spending
six months in the slammer?
"When the bank computer
THE PIATFORMS'
Sue Bretherick and Bette Karp pose to - a ~ ictory photo. Bette (r) won an
SGA senatorial seat, while Sue s a , - a , c cafe tor SGA President.
Yet, under Article 11, Section
2, only full-time undergrads
are permitted to serve on the
SGA. Why should graduate
students be denied rep
resentation on SGA? I
intend to correct this and
many other Constitutional
inequities.
Another matter in need of
Mike McAllister (I) and Russ Hogg (r) with Scott Deardorff, candidate for
SGA President
senate to change this group
to the House of Repre
sentatives. The membership
of this body would be made
up of the president or a
representative, approved by
a 2 / 3 vote of the club, of each
chartered club on campus.
This body would be headed
by the V-President of SGA
and would be charged to
present bills which benefit
the students of Capitol
Campus to the SGA senate
and also coordinate all
errs and bounces your check
' "Is your language con
fined to 'Awgees' and 'Oh
hecks'?
"Statutory attempts to
regulate pure bluster
"Can't pass what is called
constitutional muster.
"Use of vulgar words that
may cause resentment
"Is protected by the First
Amendment.
"This was no obscene call
from a sick,deranged
stranger,
"Of a breach of the peace
there was no possible
danger.
"Eugene hurled an ex
pletive in sheer
revision is tne inadequate
structuring of the Student
committees. Specific guide
lines should be compiled for
the committee to transact its
business in order to mini
mize annual discrepancies.
Because of budgetary
deficiencies arising from the
University's problems with
SaAt IDswbrff
actions betweep clubs on
campus.
3) At present there is po
committee to take action on
the evaluation of teachers.
Each term we fill out an
evaluation form which we
never see the results of, 'in
fact we do not even have to
be shown the result. We are
paying a tuition to be
educated and therefore we
should have some way to
express our opinion of the
educators on this campus. I
propose to set up a student
.ii ittee to
exasperation
"And that isn't a crime
anywhere in the nation."

Governor Shapp, it has
become necessary for Stu
dentgovernment to consider
optional methods of funding
student organizations.
Under my guidance, SGA
will seriously investigate
various methods of funding.
One such action already
under my consideration is
the implementation of a form
of student activities fee
acceptable to University
Policy. This, however, is not
the only action I will
consider.
Rather than delve into
petty politics by enumerat
ing my political background,
I will simply say that my life
study of government, and
my experiences here, have
taught me to listen to the
voice of the student. If
elected, I will continue to
do so and continue to strive
for the betterment of the
Capitol Campus student.
draw up a new evaluation
for, evaluate the prof's,
publish the results, and then
take appropriate action
against those prof's receiv
ing bad results.
The above three items are
the highlights of my
platform, there are many
other items.
What I am now asking you
to do is, just for once, get off
your butts and do something
for this campus; vote! I feel
that lam the best qualified
student running for this
office, therefore I ask you to
compare qualifications and
platforms and vote for the
person who you think would
do the best job.
The following is a list of
my qualifications for holding
the office:
1) Freshman Senator (York
Campus)
2) SGA President (York
Campus)
3) Jr.
Campus)
Senator (Capitol
4) Jr. Representative to the
Council of Branch Campus
Student Governments.
5) Member of the University
Insurance Commission.
6) Member of the University
Advisory Board to President
Oswald.
7) Member of the Board of
Trustees Educational Policy
Committee.
